Hunt Geophysical

What if you could acquire the same seismic data for half the cost?

With nearly four decades applying reflection seismic data in resource plays worldwide, Hunt Geophysical leverages that experience to help operators get affordable 2D, 3D, and swath seismic for their projects.

We begin with the exploration objective, then engineer the most economical survey capable of achieving it.

A Different Philosophy

The goal is not to maximize fold.

The goal is to maximize exploration value.

After decades of evaluating seismic programs as an interpretive geophysicist (customer), it became clear that many surveys begin with the wrong question.

Too often the starting point is how to maximize technical specifications rather than how to answer the geological question within the realities of project economics.

FantaSeis begins with a different question: what is the most economical survey that can confidently answer the geological question?

Where FantaSeis Works Best

FantaSeis is engineered for projects where conventional seismic costs often overwhelm the economics.

Target Depth

Ideal for exploration objectives between approximately 1,500 and 10,000 feet. Engineered for structural imaging and high-fidelity pre- and post-stack attribute analysis.

Terrain

Best suited for flat to gently rolling terrain where the highly portable FantaSeis system can operate efficiently with lower field complexity, manageable logistics, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Applications

Well-suited for projects whose economics are sensitive to seismic costs

  • Exploration prospects
  • Development drilling
  • Field extensions
  • Helium exploration
  • Carbon storage characterization
  • Affordable 2D reconnaissance
  • Cost-effective 3D surveys

Designed for Mature Basins

Mature producing basins still contain many opportunities; affordable seismic data can unlock them

Many attractive oil and gas exploration opportunities for independent operators sit in mature oil fields where expensive conventional reflection seismic can be difficult to justify. However, disciplined survey design and a lower-cost system can enable you to afford the 2D/3D seismic you need.
